Don't know what this finish is (how 'bout calling BWW and asking?) but I had my
wheels painted with a urethane finish at an industrial painting shop and there
are no noticeable nicks after three years of daily driving.

I'd vote for the Comp T/A's too. I've tried a bunch of different brands on our
BMW which was driven regularly over Highway 9 (which munches tires and brakes
pretty quick) and the Comp T/A's held up the best. The Goodyears were pretty
good, but the BFG's are much less expensive. Firestone's seemed to be the
crappiest and are very expensive. I used to work at a Firestone store and
still never liked them. BTW, either Speed Merchant or Super Shops seem to have
the best prices on BFG's.
